In the Godly Mountain.
Chu Kuangren and the awakened King of Gods started a battle, but they were neck and neck. They could not do anything to each other at all.
“Human, you are very strong. I can give you a chance to join us and become a god. What do you think?” said the King of Gods.
The expression on other Venerable Gods changed after hearing this.
Was the King of Gods planning to recruit Chu Kuangren?
Since he could not defeat his opponent, he needed to find a way to get his opponent to join his group.
What a tactic.
However, the Venerable Gods were outraged when recalling that they had to tolerate Chu Kuangren killing so many of their own.
F*ck.
If Chu Kuangren were to join them, they would have to meet regularly. Moreover, once he joined in to become a god, he would rank second after the King of Gods with the strength he possessed.
Their status would definitely be threatened if that were to happen.
The more they thought about it, the more upset they felt.
“Join you? Are you out of your mind?”
Chu Kuangren sneered.
The King of Gods’ face darkened. “I showed you respect, and this is how you respond?!”
“Well… You offered me the chance to humiliate you.”
“Just list your terms.”
The King of Gods took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
If the battle were to go on further, not only would his injury not recover, but it would even worsen. That was not a consequence he would like to encounter.
“Ah… Since you want to sit down and negotiate, I will give you a chance. I only have one term. For the next hundred thousand years, the gods are not to interfere with any developments of the human race,” said Chu Kuangren.
“A hundred thousand years? That’s too long.”
“Compared to your lifespan, a hundred thousand years is considered short.”
“What if I disagree? You should know that we Venerable Gods are immortal. You don’t have the upper hand here.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled. “Venerable Gods are immortal, but trust me. If I were to sacrifice my life, I’d have a way to make other gods besides the Venerable Gods… disappear!
“The Venerable Gods will fall into a deep sleep. When the time comes, your divine fragments will be taken away and refined by the rest of the human race. By then, a new batch of gods will be born.
“In that case, what can you do even when you resurrect?”
The expression on all gods changed upon hearing Chu Kuangren’s statements.
If that happened, the new gods would surely support the human race. Then, the Venerable Gods would no longer have any advantages after their resurrection.
The new gods would even override them!
“I accept your term.”
The King of Gods calmly.
“I hope you keep your promise.”
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
He did not have them make any heavenly oaths as it did not have any binding forces to these gods.
With that, Chu Kuangren turned and stepped into the void before disappearing in place.
After he left, the King of Gods’ face turned gloomy. He threw his fist in the void, and the ensuing destructive power damaged a big chunk of it.
“Cang!”
“The gods will never forget this.”
The King of Gods said in a cold tone.
A few Venerable Gods, who were standing by the side, remained silent for some time. They had never imagined that the human race would be able to corner them to such a point.
Yet, it was now a reality.
“King of Gods, what shall we do from now on?”
“I will continue the closed-door mediation to heal myself. Once my injury has recovered, I will kill Cang myself, and the human race will remain under our control. The gods shall not take any actions while I’m meditating.”
The King of Gods said.
All the gods nodded slightly. “It can only be so.”
…
In the Flame Bulwark Tribe.
More than ten Heavenly Imperials had gathered there.
“It’s reckless for the King to have gone to the Godly Mountain alone. Don’t you know that’s the gods’ territory? Should anything happen to the King, how shall the human race develop in the future?”
“That’s right. The King carries the future of the human race on his shoulder.”
These Heavenly Imperials were the elites of Antigod Pavillion.
They were also the most powerful existence in the human race.
As of now, they regarded Chu Kuangren as the King and the future of the human race. It would greatly impact the human race should something happen to him.
“How pathetic would the human race be if I were to carry the future on my shoulder alone?”
An indifferent voice sounded.
Chu Kuangren walked toward them from the void.
Upon seeing him, the crowd immediately approached him with delight.
“King, are you alright?”
Chu Kuangren waved his hand and said, “I’m fine.”
Then, he said seriously, “The future of the human race is everyone’s responsibility, and it cannot be decided solely by a person. No matter how powerful I am, I can’t look after everyone.”
Everyone looked ashamed when he said that.
“The King has taught us a good lesson. We understand.”
“We were wrong.”
“Oh, right. My King, how was your journey to the Godly Mountain?”
Yan Wu asked with eyes filled with worry as he looked over Chu Kuangren, fearing that there were injuries on the latter’s body.
“Hmm… It was pretty smooth. There was only a minor mistake.”
“What was the mistake?”
“The King of Gods has awakened.”
The expression on everyone’s faces changed.
“The King of all Gods… He has awakened.”
“Wasn’t he injured by the Immortals a long time ago and went into a deep sleep? How did he awake so fast?
“Are you injured, King?”
Chu Kuangren waved his hand to keep everyone quiet.
Then, he told them pleasantly about the incidents that occured in the Godly Mountain.
Everyone brightened up after hearing that Chu Kuangren had gained a hundred thousand years for the human race, which had developed rapidly in the past few years.
If given another hundred thousand years, the progress the human race could achieve would be unimaginable. They would surely suppress the gods by then.
“Although we will have a hundred thousand years, we can’t slack off. We don’t know whether the gods will keep their promise or not.”
Chu Kuangren reminded them.
He walked out the door and spoke while watching the falling snow, “This snow will stop soon. Yan Wu, I’ll leave the aftermath to you.”
“Understood.”
Greenie looked at Chu Kuangren standing in the snow and then around the room. He asked, “King, where is your cloak?”
At this, Chu Kuangren looked apologetic. He took out the torn cloak and said, “Greenie, I’m sorry. I accidentally tore the cloak during the battle in the Godly Mountain. I apologize for wasting your good intentions.”
The corner of the other Heavenly Imperials’ mouths twitched.
Only a cloak was killed fighting with the Venerable Gods and the King of Gods in the Godly Mountain?
How far had the King’s strength developed?
Everyone was secretly amazed.
Greenie looked at the cloak and smiled helplessly. “King, we’re very glad to know that you’re safe. It’s just a cloak. I can make a new one. There is no need for you to feel sorry.”
He found the King too gentle sometimes.
However, that was the reason his followers were with him unswervingly.
“Haha. In that case, you have my thanks.”
Chu Kuangren smiled.
After conversing with the crowd, he went back to his room and took out the things he had gained from the battle in the Godly Mountain.
They were all divine fragments.
The main ones were the divine fragments of the Venerable Light God, Venerable Darkness God, and Venerable Spacetime God. Extremely powerful energy was flowing through them.
Chu Kuangren was lost in thought as he looked at the divine fragments.
